Your not putting the carrier back on? You going to throw the spare in the back? Or is it just busted you just going to rock without it?

I don't think I'm going to... The increased departure angle has not effected me negatively yet, but the overall length has. I'll plan on throwing a spare in the trunk for the trail and run without otherwise...I may change my mind, who knows

Also its about damn time Stefan/Jon forced you to get that hole in your hood fixed

Every time I called the dealership, they told me that the new design on the '11/'12s was all they could get By every time, what I mean is, the one time that I called and never followed back up because I forgot about it

that's a good question...I haven't actually fully planned this out. A 36" spare fits in the back of the TJ (let's face it, the KM2s are not 37s), but the TJ doesn't have a big subwoofer box in the back of it...It might take some scratching of the head and some creative thought with the subwoofer.

It'd be cool if my center console could integrate the subwoofer like the TJs did...

I just don't think it's possible...I could always ditch the rear seat and throw in bucket seats...mount the sub in a weatherproof console between the seats. But then I lose my storage space in the second row, and the trunk is full of the spare...
